Oxford Phab in Paris
This is a placeholder
On the third full day of our Eurodisney/Paris trip we went on the coach into Paris, seeing the sights and going up the first stage of the Eiffel Tower.
Oxford Phab meets Eurodisney
This post is a placeholder – I hope to expand it with more of our exciting time
Having had an exciting trip to get there, Oxford Phab members were ready to enjoy the Eurodisney experience to the full.
Some of our members wanted to go on as many thrilling rides as possible in the Resort, and others wanted to take things a little easier and meet the Disney Characters.
Off to Eurodisney !
After lots of planning and preparation we assembled bright and early at Donnington Social Club to board an accessible coach to go to Eurodisney, in France near Paris, on our second Phab holiday abroad.
The side lift in use
At Dover we boarded the cross channel ferry for the trip to Calais.
Calais in sight at last – however we did have to go round and round in the Channel for a while before we could dock and board the coach again heading for Paris.
It was a long day getting there – catching up on sleep was a good way to spend the time.

Simon nominated for Paul Hope Award
At a ceremony at the House of Commons Simon was awarded a certificate in recognition of his being nominated for the Paul Hope Award. The award is presented annually in memory of Paul Hope, who did much for Phab over many years, and potential recipients have to have helped further the aims of Phab in an outstanding way,
Here he is outside the House, holding his certificate.
He was cheered on by several club members – unfortunately it was quite late when we left, but it was an amazing experience.
