Fancy being a Mumsnet Local Tsar? (or should that be Tsarina?)

Are you the source of all local knowledge and gossip? We're looking to recruit committed Mumsnetters to take charge of each Mumsnet local site. The role involves galvanising other local Mumsnetters to make your section as up to date, full of listings and useful as possible, editing new postings for accuracy and checking out new places for possible inclusion.
It's a voluntary post but you can make as much (or as little) of it as you like, stick it on your CV if that would help and/or share it with another Mumsnetter if you're worried about time commitments. If it sounds like something you?d be interested in, sign up here and we'll send you some more info.

If the area you'd like to cover isn't mentioned, please feel free to add it in the "other" box at the bottom.

Thanks
MNHQ

Happy to split

Tbh, even though I've read the e-mail from MNHQ...[blushes] I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to be doing!! lol!!! Have visions of me stalking into restaurants in manner of hotel inspector and going:

Ah ha!!! NO changing facilities in this one you un child friendly blardy bastards and then huffing out with my clipboard then duly reporting back!!!

ScaryHairy · 21/06/2007 20:50

I'm moving to Haringey in August and would be happy to lend a hand to whoever is covering that area. It would be a nice way for me to meet people and get to know the place .

TheArmadillo · 21/06/2007 20:47

ooh Nicky just started a thread on this in the Bristol one.

I signed up as well - do you want to work out how to split it or just go with the flow. I'm not bothered either way.

newlifenewname · 21/06/2007 20:46

girlyshirly (sp? can't be arsed to check, 'snot like I'm being paid to)

Anyone else signed up for St Albans?

NikkiBFG · 21/06/2007 20:42

I've signed up for Bristol - anyone else for Bristol research with a lovely bubbly blonde....??? Going once....going twice.......

colditz · 21/06/2007 20:41

Gosh Girleyshirly, you're actually quite rude, aren't you!

Mercy · 21/06/2007 20:40

It's not research - it's knowing what is in your local area.

Hulababy · 21/06/2007 20:36

Seems a tad harsh there girlyshirley. Ok, if you aren't interested then fine - don't offer. But why insult or try to offend people who might want to hlp out?

girlyshirley · 21/06/2007 20:34

sorry, i meant: you're not your - don't want to appear ignorant! But just reading these posts.. has no-one really got anything better to do???

girlyshirley · 21/06/2007 20:32

sorry, why would anyone fight you for it - your doing work for nothing for a bunch of smart jammy women who are lining their pockets. if you want to do voluntary work help out a charity, otherwise get paid for it. loads of companies would pay you for the sort of research you are offering for nothing!!??

ELF1981 · 21/06/2007 20:18

Just signed up for Nottingham if nobody else wants to fight me for it!

Guard · 21/06/2007 18:34

Happy to try and cover Oxford (and south towards Henley on Thames)

I would consider Leicester if there were a guaranteed number of serfs and a winter palace.

AM interested - but Camborne & surrounding areas isn't on the list. Is this becasue it's already been taken?

Cammelia · 21/06/2007 15:34

Is this the beginning of a franchise operation mumsnet hq? [cynic emoticon]

NBuGgeration · 21/06/2007 15:31

I've signed up and would be happy to do upper north yorks but not sure if you'll have that covered by harrogate or not?
Will also do edge of the dales and lower teeside.

nailpolish · 21/06/2007 14:50

ok ive filled in the form

ill twist someoens arm, er, i mean, find a volunteer

carriemumsnet · 21/06/2007 14:46

Advertise for a partner in crime on Talk

Seriously there's probably someone else out there who lives in your area and also fancies doing it but doesn't want sole responsibility either, so as long as you can work out what you're each called (joint Tsarinas, Tsarina 1 and 2, deputy head tsarina...) you should be fine.

id love the job but i want a second in command

carriemumsnet · 21/06/2007 12:13

Joint Tsarinas is fine - so do ask your friend and do sign up.

Ok here's the latest roll call. The more eagle eyed amongst you will notice that there are actually more places listed than last time. This is completely due to my ineptitude , I'd missed a few off when cutting and pasting BUT the good news is that if you were gutted that Glasgow had gone or heartbroken that Huddersfield had slipped through your grasp then now is your chance to check the list and sign up here

Dundee, Dumfries, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Galashiels, Kilmarnock, Kirkwall, Kirkaldy, Motherwell, Paisley, Perth, Inverness, Outer Hebrides, Co Antrim, Co Armagh, Co Down, Co Fermanagh, Co Londonderry, Co Tyrone, Newcastle, Sunderland, Bradford, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Halifax, Leeds, Wakefield, Bolton, Chester, Crewe, Oldham, Stockport, Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Nottingham, Peterborough, Chelmsford, Colchester, Norfolk, Shrewsbury, Worcester, Walsall, Llandrindod, Newport, Swansea, Dorchester, Exeter, Gloucester, Plymouth, Taunton, Torquay, Bournemouth, Guildford, Hemel Hempstead, Luton, Medway, Milton Keynes, Redhill, Stevenage, tonbridge, Watford, Westminster, Barking, Camden, Croydon, Hackney, Hammersmith, Harrow, Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Kensington, Kingston, Lewisham, Merton, Newham, Redbridge, Richmond, Sutton, Tower Hamlets, Waltham forest and Belfast

Thanks!

I know an mner in Dorchester, if she's willing, maybe we can do something together?? I'm in the next town to her.

carriemumsnet · 21/06/2007 11:55

Yes West of Ireland would be fine (someone already volunteered for South of Ireland) As for geography, we're happy to be corrected - just tell us where you think your town should be and if there's a consensus we'll move.. we did agonise over a few and were surprised by a few when we saw their actual position on map so do let us know.

Latest update on which areas we still need covering to follow...
