π¬β³ FROM MORECAMBE GOLF CLUB TO THE TV SCREEN! πΊπ
Remember our Captainβs Charity Golf Day raffle back in May? Well, we can finally share the story behind the fantastic prize! π
Our 2024 Lady Captain, Julie Cheung, was the lucky winner of the chance to have a walk-on role in Series 6 of ITVβs The Bay β filmed right here in Morecambe!
On Thursday 30th July, Julie and her Dad Geoff Forrest were invited onto the set for an incredible behind-the-scenes experience.
From the moment they arrived at the production base behind the Festival Market, they received the full VIP treatment, including their own trailer, a driver between filming locations, breakfast, costume and make-up! ππ¬
Their first scene involved a police chase at the Battery, where Julie and Geoff took part as extras. After 12 takes, the production team were happy with the scene!
We donβt want to give too much awayβ¦ π€«
But Julie has revealed that they should appear in Episode 6 when Series 6 airs next year! ππΊ
The day continued with behind-the-scenes filming at the site of the old swimming stadium, followed by lunch prepared by the on-site catering team. They then visited the beach in front of The Midland and the Stone Jetty, where the crew finished the day with a spectacular Morecambe sunset. π
Julie & Geoff were introduced to directors, producers and key members of the crew and got a fascinating insight into how much work goes into creating the show.
With around 90 crew members working on the day, Julie said the atmosphere was incredibly professional, calm and friendly.
A huge thank you to Julie for sharing her experience, and congratulations once again! π
Most importantly, this fantastic experience was made possible thanks to everyone who supported our Captainβs Charity Golf Day raffle, raising funds for Stanleyβs Community Centre, Morecambe. β€οΈ
So, when The Bay returns next yearβ¦
π KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED!
