Want to get involved with Mumsnetters in your area AND nab yourself some beautiful bespoke art work? Then do we have the competition for you! All you have to do is set your local home page site.

Firewater Gallery is an exciting new online art gallery that produces beautiful hand-drawn map art and modern landscapes of the places most special to you and your family.

To be in with a chance of winning a set of 3 totally bespoke & beautifully designed pieces of map artwork, we'd like you to set your local home page site.

Mumsnet local is growing all of the time, many of the sites are producing fabulous monthly newsletters with local offers, hosting meet-ups and chatting about everything from finding a local Brownie group to where to have a family friendly meal.

How to enter

First visit here and enter your postcode. This will bring up a list of your nearest Mumsnet Local sites.

Chose the one you want to be your home page, and go to that local site. Once you're on the page, go into 'My Sites' at the top of the page, and set it as your home.

After you've done that, come back to this thread and post (you don't need to say which site you have set as your home site) to say you've done it - your name will be added to the hat, and we'll pick a winner at random.

Once you've set your local home site, do feel free to add any local events or listings that you know about, or start a thread or two. You can have another local NN so no one need know who you are on the main site to avoid any RL/MN local crossover.

Good luck, we will pick a winner out of the hat on Wednesday the 30th April.

Waves to all :) I edit Essex, Colchester & Southend. Southend is still quite small but I am getting there. We have a great comp on there at the moment for a free family ticket to see Scooby Doo so please do join up and enter.
Colchester has a very active meet up group and we have a Tassimo coffee morning next week at Asda, Turner Rise.
Essex is just quite an active site so please feel free to leave reviews for any places you have visited.

That must have infuriated you Sunday. i have told HQ and tech will take a look.

kaleyredmond · 25/04/2014 10:59

Would love to see you all over on the MNWarwickshire and Coventry sites :D

(I am still busy gaining information on the Coventry site so apologies for lack of posts atm)

Mumsnet Coventry and Warwickshire :D

EasterSundaySimmons · 25/04/2014 10:22

Thank you lesuffolkandnorfolk.

I registered a local nick name and we to to add the event and right at the end the Access Denied came up!

Lesuffolkandnorfolk · 25/04/2014 10:19

You don't need to fill in all the boxes Sunday.

The postcode, first line of address and title is mandatory and some of them need something in the time box. I do sympathise because I spent Wednesday loading well over a hundred listings for the Suffolk and Norfolk site.

I will chase it up with HQ to see why access denied appeared. If you are a member of Local and registered, this should not happen. I do get plenty of locals adding their events now and thankfully, haven't had any issues with them. It is embarrassing though because one negative experience taints the whole of Local.

Suffolk huge bunch of Flowers. Thank you on behalf of all the Editors. We love reviews!

ApplesinmyPocket · 25/04/2014 09:14

Done!

EasterSundaySimmons · 25/04/2014 09:09

I just wasted ten minutes trying to put up an event on my local site, but too many unnecessary boxes that had to be filled in and when I eventually completed it, it came up as Acess Denied. Local site is not user friendly for me.
