Team Sober MCC was formed in 1989 by a small group of likeminded friends & motorcycle riders from East Leeds & South Leeds.
The first meeting was held at the Commercial Sweet St and the name Team Sober was given to us by a group of lads from Brighouse who sometimes called themselves Team Sober.
Being mostly small drinkers  it was decided to have a newt as our Logo & the words 'Pissed as a Newt' on our T-Shirts and Patches. Pissed as a Newt has now come off the club patch and our rally is the 'Pissed as a Newt Rally'.
The first rally attended as a club was 'The Fly in the Eye Rally' at Brotherton, just off the A1. This was run by Kirkthorn & District.
Membership of Team Sober MCC grew rapidly to over 150 members which always gave the club a good turnout at rally's & a good few Club Turnout Trophies. We now have a strong contigent in Idle, Bradford as members of the Club.
We moved to the Shaftesbury on York Rd as our regular meeting place. Over the years we have resided in many pubs such as the White Horse on York Rd, The Palace, The Crown, The Dock Green but always seem to return to the Shaftersbury. at this time we are at the DOG & GUN YORK RD
We have had Rally's at The Angel - Alerton Bywater, Mick Britons - Farsley, Watermill - Pately Bridge, Boot & Shoe - A1 and Harefield Hall - Pately Bridge. This year is our 17th Pissed as a Newt Rally this was at the Snooty Fox A64 , as Harefield Hall was not repaired from the fire last year,
We have also done a 3 Ts Xmas Party Rally with Tea Folk and Team Tankard in the early years. More recently we have had 3 Gemober Party/Rally's with G.E.M.C.C over the last 3 years 2005-2006-2007,
We are a family club with members from all walks of life with lots of different views and opinions on life which everyone is respected for. The main thing to the club is the love of Motorcycles & Trikes, Riding and Partying. This transends everything else,
