We have also included the Channel Islands and Isle of Man on these pages because, even though they are not strictly part of the UK, they also have voluntary committees who organise events and look after our members in the same way.

The map allows you to navigate the Areas easily. (Currently the Channel Islands, Orkney and Shetland do not appear on this map; please use the list below for the Channel Islands, and Scotland for Orkney and Shetland.) Rolling the mouse over the map will show you the Areas; clicking on one of them will take you to the relevant Area page where you will find lists of forthcoming events, contact names and links to award syllabuses. There are also links to locally-managed websites for those Areas and Regions that have them.

Details of the RSCM's annual Celebration Day and Area Festivals can also be found on this page. For RSCM International events (including North-West Europe) please go to the RSCM international page.
