DUBLIN Airport will be at the centre of events this year as people arrive in their droves for Gathering events around the country and the airport community itself will be hosting some 'Gathering' events of their own during 2013.
The DAAFC (Formerly Aer Rianta FC) was established in 1972 and so will celebrate 40 years in football in the 2012/2013 season and with a Gathering tie-in, the club plans to celebrate in style.
The club is in the throws of organising a big event in May to mark the occasion including a showpiece game against St Patrick's Athletic FC followed by a Gala Evening.
The day will be geared at past, present and future members with a real welcome being extended to families.
The event will also be part of Dublin Airport's contribution to The Gathering and it is hoped will bring ex-players from all over the globe, back to the airport for the celebrations.
Also hoping to have a 'Gathering' of their own is the Aer Lingus Maintenance and Engineering Department who are celebrating 50 years of engineering apprenticeships this year.
To mark the occasion, and as part of 'The Gathering', an official event will take place in Croke Park in early March to bring together as many as possible of the 850 former apprentices since the scheme first began in 1962.
The committee behind the event are trying to contact as many of these apprentices as possible and further information about the event can be found on The Gathering website, www.thegatheringireland,com , or emailing apprentices50@gmail.com
