Local Tsarinas wanted

116 replies

With Mumsnet Local looking more lovely than ever, we're now searching for more Mumsnetters to join up as Tsarinas.

There are currently 40 local sites with no Tsarina to look after them (listed below) but we'd also love to see more Tsarinas in general - so if you think you'd be interested, but your local area isn't listed below, do still get in touch. The more the merrier.

You can find out what being a Tsarina involves here. Just let us know on this thread if you're interested and we'll be in touch.

I've emailed too

tinker316 · 26/06/2011 11:20

What does it involve? It won't come up on my screen??!!

PositiveAttitude · 26/06/2011 09:22

Just read what is involved and I would be happy to do the Isle of Wight, if they are separated and no-one else has volunteered.

PP, not sure if you are an islander or Portsmouth area, dont want to step on your toes. Smile

PositiveAttitude · 26/06/2011 09:19

Purplepidjin I second your post! I am an islander and would love a separate area just for us as I feel very cut off from the mainland area for things going on.
Please MN, separate us out!

dubaipieeye · 26/06/2011 08:54

Need anyone for Dubai/the Middle East? We could do with breaking the domination of expatwoman.com over here! Happy to help.

purplepidjin · 25/06/2011 22:47

Medina is an entirely seperate district to New Forest, Southampton etc. It's quite funny when googling directions from here to Portsmouth, though. Geographically it's shorter despite the 2 half hour ferry journeys Grin

grinningbee · 25/06/2011 22:44

I live between areas too. If we were going more local I could do Grantham, Oakham and surrounding villages, but only if it wasn't stepping on anyone elses toes.

At least I could justify my Mumsnet time a bit more then! Grin

purplepidjin · 25/06/2011 22:14

I'm just nosying on the thread, but Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight have an entire sea (the Solent) between them. There are also three ferry ports to the Island - Portsmouth, Lymington and Southampton. It's nigh on £40 to take a car across so I doubt Hampshire folk would go to stuff in the IOW and vice versa.

Sorry Blush

RobynLou · 25/06/2011 20:31

have emailed.

BetterThanChocolate · 25/06/2011 20:19

I've emailed you Smile

nickschick · 25/06/2011 19:14

Hiya Im up for this about time my local area got one!! I cant email you though?

smellsofsick · 25/06/2011 18:47

I emailed on Friday, did you get it?

chocoholic · 25/06/2011 18:45

Can you knock me off my area please. I've done a terrible job Blush and I'm sure there is someone out there can do it far, far better than I can.

You have my support two. I'm in East Calder but quite new to the area. Do you need me to do anything?

SuePurblybilt · 25/06/2011 10:01

How do we request a more local, local board? The nearest one to me is Exeter - over an hour and a half's drive and more than 2-3 hours from the north of the county. Devon is a big, rural place and most services divide it into North Devon and South Devon. Could we think about that MNHQ? The reason Nethuns has a stranglehold around here is that they are super-local - every small town has its own mini-board, meet-ups etc.

You don't need to go that far but I'd be more active on the local boards if my county was divided up more - maybe a sub-section?

TwoIfBySea · 25/06/2011 00:38

I've sent a message requesting an addition to the groups of our little county!

TwoIfBySea · 25/06/2011 00:34

As is Falkirk, and there are different school holidays between some districts so some good events may not apply.

I'm in Linlithgow btw. The town know in West Lothian as "over the hill and far away!" in terms of inclusion to the rest of the county :o

LisMcA · 24/06/2011 23:40

TwoifBySea thats where i am, and i agree we need our own Local bit, Edinburgh is too far away to be "local"

TwoIfBySea · 24/06/2011 23:27

Unless I've overlooked it there is nothing for West Lothian (the bit between Falkirk and Edinburgh - towns like Linlithgow, Livingston, Bathgate.)

Just thought I'd say s'all.

MadameBoo · 24/06/2011 21:28

I'm on here every night so would love to do something constructive. Am definitely interested.

LisMcA · 24/06/2011 21:27

Can't get the emailto work! I'm interested!

socialhandgrenade · 24/06/2011 20:17

I am interested and live in one of the listed areas. I was just thinking I needed a hobby!

MrsSnaplegs · 24/06/2011 18:38

Have emailed you

Gracie123 · 24/06/2011 18:37

Boo! My Tsarina is already doing a great job. Looks like I'll have to move house if I want in on the action. Luton isn't too far.... Hmm
