The Gathering is the first large airsoft event in Ireland, being run over a night and a day, in Galway Tactical Airsoft Center.
If we get enough interest maybe we could get the college to pay for a bus over for us

Finally I just want to finish by saying, that this is a huge event. We all hope that it brings Irish Airsoft forward and shows us in a new light and that it is the first of many. We hope it goes off with out a hitch, but for this to happen we need everyones cooperation. Our hope is that all borders and team constraints can be dropped so that all airsofters old and new can learn from each other.
