Hello,
Another week, another newsletter! Read on for this week’s goings on.
The Old Post Office is open for coworking Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, with Bryn and Mark, Pendra, Jen and Ellie.
See you then! Book your desk in advance online.
— Kerry, on behalf of TOPO
Discounted regular bookings
If you cowork once or twice a week, or would like to get into the habit, maybe you’d be interested in signing up to a monthly subscription?
When you have purchased your subscription, you can book a desk as usual through our bookings page. We’ll email you a unique subscription code to apply at the checkout whenever you want to book a desk. And you can always purchase additional sessions at the usual rate if you hit your monthly limit.
And if after a month, you decide it’s not for you (or, you only needed it for a month anyway) you can always cancel - or upgrade and add extra days!
Sign up online (or email us if you have questions) [email protected]

C90 Community Chorus
Join Sounds Local CIC for Stirchley’s 90s singing group held every Friday, 7–9pm at The Old Post Office - come along and sing your heart out to hits from ‘the best decade in pop culture!’
The group is open to people (18+), who want to come together and sing 90s songs for fun, to make new friends, and maybe to perform the odd gig in public in future. Let Mark know you’re thinking of coming/sign up for updates.

ecobirmingham are holding led bike rides on Thursday evenings, leaving from Bournville Hub - they go at a gentle pace suitable for all. Upcoming dates: 31 July, 7 August, 14 August. From 6pm–7.30pm – register your place

And as it is the First Friday this week, it’s also Digbeth First Friday (DFF) ‘Digbeth comes alive on the first Friday of each month with exhibitions, late-night openings, special events, culture in unexpected spaces, performances, live music, street food and more. With different things to see and do each month anything could happen on a First Friday night out.’ Find out more - or just visit the website to play with their fun tile logo puzzle.
Special mention - Grand Union Arts is celebrating its 15th birthday this year. As part of DFF you can visit their current exhibition Gut Feelings 2.0 by Kasra Jalilipour, the exhibition is ‘an exploration of ‘queer’ lives and rebellions in 19th Century Iran, which have been purposefully hidden away from the public consciousness. Although at times, queerness has played a key and obvious role in Iranian art and literature, societal structures have ensured that it has been erased from historical memory despite always having existed in the culture.’ More info on GU’s website
Join B:Music in uncovering the hidden stories of Birmingham Town Hall, celebrating its rich legacy, and supporting vital upgrades to secure the future of this iconic venue - info: Amplify Town Hall
And if like me, you have a child starting at a local school in September, you/your child might be interested in these play sessions at the Stirchley Soft Play Cafe
