For some years now there has been a push from certain circles to increase the celebration of St George's Day, April 23rd. It is seen how St. Patrick's Day is celebrated and the belief is that such celebrations should be on our own patron saint's day.
Naturally, this view has found its way into ringing circles and there has been a push for a while now to try and get people to ring for St. George's day, but following on from the (arguable) success of the ringing for the Olympics and the prominence that bells had during the Golden Jubilee, there has been a real push to get all the towers to ring at a co-ordinated time.
