World Cup events at Bitters starting on June 11th

Ladies and gentlemen,

The world is watching. In just days, the 2010 FIFA World Cup kicks off. After years of qualifying, the tournament is only hours away … finally!

Beginning June 11^th, 32 countries will take to the pitch in South Africa with one common goal … capture the coveted FIFA World Cup trophy. This month-long tournament … the world’s finest athletic competition … is held every 4 years, and features the top-seeded national football teams from around the world. With 3 million seats sold and a cumulative TV audience of over 26 BILLION, you certainly don’t want to be one of the four people to miss it.

Whether you cheer “Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi” , “Wij houden van Oranje”, “U-S-A U-S-A”, or none-of-the-above, now is the time to watch the world’s “beautiful game” in it’s finest setting. Every team gets at least 3 games, so soak ‘em up in style.

As Newfoundland’s premier gathering spot for students from around the world, BITTERS PUB IS THE PLACE TO BE. Featuring World Cup extended hours, Bitters will offer THE venue to cheer on your team and get caught up in World Cup excitement with other football fans!

Haiti Earthquake Donation

On January 12, 2010 a 7.0 magnitude earthquake and several powerful aftershocks struck off the western coast of Haiti, causing buildings to collapse and chaos as people fled the damage.  Families need your help -- food, shelter and other supplies -- in the aftermath of the worst disaster to strike the region in years.

If you would like more information on the crisis or to donate feel free to visit these sites for further information:
