Steph Birch Hi, I am married to Stephen. Both myself and our son, Sam, have achondroplasia. As Acting Chair I will lead the other trustees in representing the RGA in the best way we can. We will listen to your views and work to fulfil the objects of the Association. If you want to get involved and can offer your time in any way please drop me a line. |

Val Sims I was honoured at the last Committee Meeting to be nominated for the position of Acting Vice Chairperson. As you will see I will still be Parent Officer. My aim, until at least the next AGM, is to support Steph who is the acting chairperson as much as I possibly can. Also I do hope if the membership have any concerns that they want to share, that they will feel able to contact me.

Stephen Birch Hi, I am married to Steph and we have a son called Sam. I am average height and Steph and Sam both have Achondroplasia. In my role as Website and ICT co-ordinator I will be keeping this website updated and managing the office ICT and phone system. If you have any ideas for content to the website I'd love to hear from you. Shortly you should see a major change in the office telephone system making it easier that ever for you to contact the Association Manager. |

Val Sims My name is Val Sims, I am a full member of RGA (formerly ARRG) I was involved in the association from the time of its conception. I am married to Geoff who is average height and have two sons Matthew & Nicky. I am delighted to be appointed Parent Officer, as I enjoy very much communicating and endeavouring to help parents who have had a child with restricted growth. I hope that all parents will feel able to contact me just to chat, ask advice(If I cannot find an answer I will find a person who will!) or to be put in touch with other parents. I look forward to meeting you all in the future, hopefully in this the 40th year of RGA. |
