The decision to form Birmingham Humanist Group was made on 23 May 1962 at the Arden Hotel, New Street, Birmingham, England, at a well-attended meeting of Ethical Union members and inquirers convened by Dr Anthony Brierley, as a result of which he placed a notice in the newsletter of the Ethical Union, forerunner of the British Humanist Association (BHA). It changed its name to Birmingham Humanists (Brum Hums) in 2000 and voted to become a Partner Group of the BHA which changed its name to Humanists UK in 2017. It holds most of its meetings at the rooms of the Community Development trust in Moseley, Birmingham.
