Local Tsarinas wanted

26 replies

CatherineHMumsnet · 21/06/2011 11:10

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.

Dubaipieeye - it's a little trickier setting up international local sites, but we'll look into it.

Chocoholic - are you sure? You don't want to go back and give the new easier Local page a go again?

BlueViolet - which Mumsnet Local page would you like to be Tsarina of?

CatherineHMumsnet · 27/06/2011 12:31

Philmassive - your log-in should be the same you always use and the system should recognise your Tsarina name when you go into local.

For anyone who couldn't see the page on what's involved in being a Tsarina - here it is.

Thanks for showing an interest in becoming a Mumsnet Tsarina. We're really keen that Mumsnet Local helps connect local members, giving them tons of info on what?s going on in their areas as well as making it easier to meet up. It's an important role ? and mindful of that, we've got a whole host of treats planned for the people who make this all work ? which will soon include you, we hope!

If you do decide to become a Tsarina, we'll send you a proper How-to manual with all the necessary info on how to keep your local site updated. But before we do that, here?s a summary of the basic job requirements of a Tsarina, so you can see if this is the kind of role for you.

What a Tsarina does
The most important thing Tsarinas do is regularly check and update the listings on their local site, adding their own and editing other people?s. We?d also want you to pop in as often as possible and answer anybody?s questions posted in Local Talk. If you don?t think you?ll be able to keep an eye on your local site and update on at least a weekly basis, then being a Tsarina may not be right thing for you.

What you get in return
Apart from the warm glow of knowing you?re an integral part of the fabulous MN team, we do have some rather lovely treats in store for our Tsarinas. We?ll be posting regular prize draws putting all the Tsarinas? names in a virtual hat for some great prizes. And as you?re only up against a couple of hundred Tsarinas rather than the million-plus Mumsnetters, your chances of winning are considerably higher. We?ll also send you an annual Mumsnet Ambassador card, which you?re welcome to flash when you chat to any local companies ? who knows you might even get to review local shows or pantos?!

PositiveAttitude - if you take a look, you'll see we've separated Portsmouth and IOW out. The Portsmouth map looks a little odd which is what we're trying to sort out before we get you all set up - but don't worry, we are working through all the emails/PMs etc.

LisMcA/Twoifbysea - are either of you up for the role of Tsarina in your neck of the woods? If so, PM me and I'll get a local site set up for you.

Milngavie/MrsGerardButler - looks like there's ought to be an Argyll site. We need to pick a geographical centre for the area, what would you suggest?

Thanks so much for offers of Tsarinadom - Cath H will be back shortly to liaise Smile

Will be sending out a mass of emails today - spent yesterday turning people into Tsarinas (flourishes wand) but didn't want to send out your manuals while there was some tech issues happening. Keep an eye on your inboxes...

Fraktious, we should be able to get French local sites up over the next few weeks. It's on our list of things to do - takes a little bit longer to get the international postcodes working.
