Listed below are summaries of Arran u3a Interest Groups. You can click on the blue links for more information about each group.

To join an Interest Group you should first become a member of The Isle of Arran u3a (see the 'Welcome' page), and then contact us using the link Enquiries about Groups.

Some Groups may already be full. If this is the case with the Group you wish to join, we can add you to a waiting list.

We are always looking to start new Groups. Please contact us using the link Enquiries about Groups, or speak to a committee member if you have any ideas for new Groups and/or would like to become a Group Leader.
