Birmingham St.
George’s Day Association:
Origins: The Association was formed in
2002 as a result of a desire, led by Carl Chinn, to celebrate all that is
positive about being English by holding an event or events at least annually
to mark St George's day. This is similar to the St Patrick's day and many
other similar celebrations held by various groups in our varied society.
Because of his existing associations, Carl asked the Birmingham Icknield Male Voice Choir, & The West
Midlands Police Male Voice Choir (now disbanded) to help with
the initial organising. A meeting was held by members of the community in
November 2002, and a committee was formed, with Carl as Chairman. After much
debate, it was decided that a concert in Symphony Hall on St George's day
itself would be a fitting first year celebration, indeed this was taken as
the title of the concert, "An English Celebration"
