  • Ep 153 Picturing the Bay with Liz Withey
    Mar 15 2026

    Who hasn't tried to capture the perfect picture of the Bay?

    Is it down to skill or just managing to be in the right place at the right time?

    Photography Liz Withey from Carnforth has taken some brilliant shots of the Bay, the Lakes and Lancaster over the years and you can see some of them at The Junction Gallery on Carnforth railway station.

    We met in the gallery for a chat during which she offers some top tips and we discussed mutual love of steam trains!

  • Fore Get Me Not Golf

    Dementia is a growing challenge.

    As the population ages and people live for longer, it has become one of the most important health and care issues facing the world. In the whole of the UK, the number of people with dementia is estimated at 850,000.

    That's one reason why a golf programme with a difference is underway here in Morecambe Bay.

    Called Fore Get Me Not Golf it aims to foster a sense of community among those with dementia along with their carers.

    Heysham Golf Club is now hosting monthly Dementia Cafes but, as you'll hear, with the success of the programme here there are high hopes it could be adopted all over the UK.

    Marianne Barraclough is the executive director of More Music, the community music and education charity based in the West End of Morecambe. As you'll hear, it's an organisation that appeals to young and old and has great track record in getting people from all walks of life involved. Marianne tells us why she wanted the gig, shares her musical background and reveals how she still keeps her hand in today.

    BTW the team have got a busy few weeks coming up:

    Dare! Young children and their families can swim with the silver fish, peer through telescopes, ride the tide and take a leap, with a newly-created musical experience on 20 & 21 February at More Music in Morecambe at 10am, 12pm & 2pm.

    Girls Can is a free two-day workshop over the weekend of Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th March for girls, young women and non-binary people aged 12–19.
