    2011 Lake Odyssey was a Heritage Lottery Funded project exploring local history through the arts with a particular focus on the 1950’s, when Chew Valley Lake was made. This was a major local event. The town of Moreton was fl ooded to make way for a reservoir supplying water to South Bristol and the Queen visited the area to offi cially open and inaugurate the lake in 1956. The Lake Odyssey 2011 project gave pupils at Chew Valley School and their cluster of primary schools a chance to explore the history of their community in a fun and creative way. Pupils took part in various workshops throughout the spring and summer of 2011 to produce the content for the fi nal Lake Odyssey event day on Saturday 16th July 2011, which saw the local community come together for a day of celebration and performance at Chew Valley Lake. Balloon Launch The Lake Odyssey 2011 project offi cially launched on Friday 4th March with a balloon re- lease. Year seven and eight pupils released the balloons to mark and celebrate the occasion. A logo competition had been running within the primary cluster and Chew Valley School to fi nd a design for the Lake Odyssey logo. The winners were announced by Heritage Lottery representative Cherry Ann Knott. The lucky winners were Bea Tucker from East Harptree Pri- mary School and Hazel Stockwell-Cooke from Chew Valley School, whose designs featured in all publicity for the Lake Odyssey 2011 project. Bishop Sutton Songwriting Swallow class from Bishop Sutton Primary School took part in a song writing workshop, com- posing their own song from scratch with Leo Holloway.

    FRACKING IN NORTH-EAST SOMERSET HOW MANY WELLS AND WHERE MIGHT THEY BE? The present government is keen to promote an American style unconventional gas revolution in Britain. This could mean big industry moving into our neighbourhood with the attendant disruption, potential risks, and effect on house prices. Parts of Somerset have been licensed for exploration and development. Industry interest has focused primarily on coalbed methane (CBM) with shale gas as a secondary possibility. Fracking may be used for both. Extraction of CBM is likely to be occur much nearer the surface than shale. How many wells & where? In 2000 the American CBM company GeoMet Inc.evaluated the CBM potential of the 400 km2 area shown in Fig. 1 Its report was retrieved from publicly available sources by Frack Free Chew Valley (FFCV) and is available with a detailed commentary. [Coalbed Methane Exploration in Somerset, the Chew Valley, Keynsham & the Mendip Hills https://frackfreecv.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/unconventionalgasexplorationinsomerset_160614b.pd f ] Most of the information here comes from that report where full detail and references should be sought. In its 2000 assessment GeoMet decided to concentrate on areas with coal measures at optimum depth , shown in grey in Fig. 1, and to exclude urban areas and areas where the coal had been previously worked. There seems to be no reason why CBM might not be extracted from other coal seams, but it appears that GeoMet first concentrated on the least complicated areas. This "developable" area, 108 km2 , GeoMet stated, could "accommodate" about 300 gas wells. Fig. 1 gives an indication of their location, according to FFCV's assumption of even distribution.
