BBC WALES CHARITY TELEVISION BROADCAST - UPDATE

Takes you to the BBC.co.uk Wales website
Just to let you all know that the filming for the RGA charity broadcast took place last Friday at the BBC studios in Cardiff.
The broadcast is to air on all BBC Wales Channels the week 29th November - 6th December. I would like to say a big thank you to both Pam and Chris Burnell who volunteered to be filmed and also to the other members who put their names forward. Unfortunately most of you lived too far away.
I have contacted several newspapers in Wales, most of them have replied asking if we have members in their area that they could run a story on and through that introduce the RGA.
If you live in Wales and are interested in having your "story" in the local press, please let me know along with the name of your local paper. This would be most helpful.

Golden Girl!
On behalf of the Restricted Growth Association - we wish to congratulate Eleanor Simmonds on her amazing achievement of winning Gold in the 100m freestyle swimming event at the Paralympics in Beijing; becoming the youngest ever Brit at just 13 years old to do so.
Well done Ellie!
You really are a true inspiration to us all.
