Ian and his wife Kelly-Ann (pictured on the frontispiece) will live at the Rectory in Winford. Kelly Ann is a Consultant in Foetal Medicine at St Michaels, Bristol. Ian was ordained in August 2017 and since September 2018 has been a curate in a group of parishes near Belfast. His background is that he grew up in Derry where he was a chorister in St Columb’s Cathedral. He took A-levels at Foyle College before studying a Bachelor’s degree, a Master’s degree and eventually a PhD in Music at Queen’s University Belfast. PTO 11 Before studying at the Church of Ireland Theological Institute, Ian worked as Organist and Master of the Choristers in Derry Cathedral; he also worked as a freelance recitalist and accompanist, and taught in St Malachy’s College and Methodist College, Belfast. In January 2019 Ian was appointed President of the Ulster Society of Organists and Choirmasters. Paying tribute to his curate in a social media post, the Rev David Lockhart, rector of Larne, Inver, Glynn and Raloo, said: “Ian has always been very supportive so whilst I am delighted for him, I will miss him being part of the team. His exceptional musical talent and many pastoral gifts have blessed us all and I know he will be missed.” We look forward very much to giving Ian & Kelly-Ann a warm welcome in the Chew Valley and supporting them in their new mission. Ian will be licensed by the Bishop of Bath and Wells at a service on 13th May at Winford. Sadly the numbers for this service will be extremely limited but it is hoped it will be live-streamed, details to follow later. Ian’s first service in St Andrews Chew Stoke will be Evensong on Sunday 16th May at 6.30pm and his first at St Mary the Virgin Nempnett Thrubwell will be Communion at 9am on Sunday 23rd May. NEW BEGINNINGS ALL ROUND! Welcome to our new Churchwarden We are very pleased to announce that Tina Kilroy – see picture – is to join Andrew Troup as Churchwarden of St Andrews, Chew Stoke. Tina, who lives in the village with her husband Lee and two young daughters, will bring lots of energy to the role especially in supporting our new vicar, Ian Mills, when he starts on 13th May 12 ST ANDREWS CHURCH DIARY Sunday 2nd May Led by Mary Sommerville 6.30pm Evensong Sunday 9th May Rev.

For Chew Valley West this will doubtless be my last letter, as the new rector, Ian Mills, will be installed in time to write the next, and CV East not far behind. The likelihood is that Ian will retain some things, the best of what our churches offer, adding his own style to it. But it would be a denial of any priest’s calling and ministry to expect everything to remain unchanged. All churches long for growth, both in numbers and in deepening faith and trust in God, and the community that develops alongside that. Change can be challenging; we are creatures of habit who can find it hard to give up familiar routines and rituals; but if we live in contentment with God, understand that he is sovereign over all that happens and put our trust in him, and if we fix our eyes upon Jesus, we can cope with almost any change that occurs - and even find life more exciting and fulfilling. And that includes our church life. The priestly calling is intrinsically solitary, the relationship to the people around a priest unique. We hold people at their most joyful and painful times, keeping many things con- fidential. It can be challenging, but a congregation can ensure their priest flourishes, and can therefore lead in a good and godly fashion, with gentle support and encouragement. Being held in such loving care means the difference between a priest who is flourishing and one who is struggling, or has even given up. No one is blessed with every talent and gift by God, even if ordained, and a healthy church is one where all members share in being church, and using their God-given gifts to make a complete community. So please pray for Ian as he prepares to come here, and for yourselves and your role as his new flock. Every blessing to you all. Rev’d Sandra. PRAYER FOR MAY Gracious God, we give you thanks for the new beginning we will all share in as our new priest, Ian, and his wife, join us this month. We pray you will bless their ministry among us, and bring new life to our church and our village. We pray too for all those who have recently settled in our village, and as the schools return, we pray for our children, young people, and teachers that in learning together they will gain the skills they will need in life.

    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.
