For the 85 club members who bought jerseys and stuff, your long lonely wait is almost over. We expect to receive our bulk shipment in about a week. So, stay tuned for arrangements to deliver these to the far flung faithful of the NFBC. We will distribute these as quickly as we can although no real rush because the weather sucks so bad.

For those of you who neglected to use the free shipping code, we are assured by the manufacturer that that have processed -- or will soon be processing -- your $13 refund (or more if you had a big order). Check your credit card statements for any discrepancy. Hint: there are only six of you.

Also, be aware that we have 14 dozen pairs of matching socks that will also go on sale as we distribute the other apparel you ordered. Low, low price will be $6 a pair and we have plenty in SM/MED and LG/XL. We got socks the last time we did new jerseys etc. and I always felt the three pairs I bought were not enough. Do not get caught under-socked.

For those of you who didn't buy a jersey or bibs or shorts or gloves or jackets or cute little caps, don't despair. When you realize the mistake you made you can go back to the manufacturer and pay full retail price.
