The Teacher’s workshop having registered good attendance of eight new schools off the 10 invited recorded two representatives from each of the schools. After an enthusiastic session the teachers high lighted the quick need of a committee that would act fast to have the game of Tag Rugby grow in Gulu Town an event that saw Mr. Sam Moro Ojan of Gulu town Primary school slotted in as first ever head of Gulu Tag Rugby Teacher’s Association assisted by Aryemo Anna of Laroo Boarding Primary school as vice chairperson.
