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.

Done. Or rather, updated, as we've just moved house

MirandaWest · 24/04/2014 21:46

I followed the instructions and saw I had already set my local site.

LocalEditorBournemouth · 24/04/2014 21:06

Thanks to those of you who have set Bournemouth and Poole as your home page.

We have a coffee morning coming up on the 7th May which you can sign up for here.

We also have a mum in Poole interested in meeting up with other Mumsnetters on this thread.

Good luck with the competition everyone!

Done, thank you - fingers crossed for the lovely art.

LocalEditorGlasgow · 24/04/2014 20:33

Many thanks to all in Glasgow who have set their local home page. We have loads of listings so you can find out what's on in Glasgow, and a very active talk board too. Hillhead Primary and its problems with oversubscription are a particular hot topic just now - do head over if you can help!

Haha SDTG, are you sure? Even if we had cake and or booze?! We are running a fab Bananas in Pajamas theatre offer on at the minute, so if he ever fancies hiding from some lectures in a dark theatre, I bet that's the last place they'd look! Grin
