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.

Ipswich is still quite a new site - but do come over and help me fill it up with your favourite places to visit (with or without the children!) to let other mums in Ipswich know where the best places to go are.

And enter the comp at the same time...good luck!

Done!

@BetterWithCheese

Done. Is it okay to add things like baby groups that you know about but that you don't run? There are lots if activities locally that I know about but have had to really dig about for the info, I'd like to save other new mums the time.

Yes please BWC, that would be fantastic and that's one of the main ideas behind local and Mumsnet in general, pooling and sharing advice.

Thank you Thanks Wine Cake

BurdenedWithGloriousPurpose · 24/04/2014 15:59

Done.

Though mine is pretty empty which is disappointing as it's chuffing Edinburgh! Surely there's 2636354326 things in Edinburgh. But I'm too lazy to add listings and stuff.

Lesuffolkandnorfolk · 24/04/2014 15:34

Its a nice campus at Reading SDTG (although I think I might be straying from the course of the thread and I don't want to be told off for sidetracking it!)

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 24/04/2014 14:43

LocalEdit,orReqding - my ds1 is at university in Reading - I could try to persuade him to go along to a meet up, but I'm not entirely sure he'd go. Grin

LocalEditorCambridge · 24/04/2014 14:39

Cambridge is a busy friendly site - lots of local threads & people needing advice on schools, nurseries, where to live / go out etc - Also meet ups being planned & a book club about to start (with Wine too).

mrspeacockinthestudy · 24/04/2014 14:38

Done. Hoping the traffic picks up in my local one as it's dead in there mostly!

FrankUnderwood · 24/04/2014 14:35

Lesuffolkandnorfolk · 24/04/2014 14:17

We have a lonely Mum from Thetford/Brandon who really needs to make some new friends. I have been tweeting her thread daily.

Is there anybody who can reply or private message her?

BucketofDinosaurs · 24/04/2014 14:05

Done :)
