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.

Am a local ambassador for Chepstow, hopefully this means I can enter.

Thank you and hello to anyone who has come over to the Cornwall page!

It's a big area for one person to cover but we are getting busier and busier by the day and I am really pleased to it's not just me posting listings these days -- thank you all Smile

Our meet ups are friendly and the next one is Friday 2 May in Truro Library, the children's area, please pop in and say hi. We've got Tassimo coffee and delicious cakes -- all free!

Hi all,

Thanks so much for entering and supporting your local site. The local eds put in such a lot of work to make them look shiny and appealing so it's great that they are getting some more attention.

If you think your local talk board is looking a little unloved why not start a thread? You might be surprised at the amount of like-minded Mumsnetters nearby.

Best of luck in the competition!

LocalEdPeterborough · 28/04/2014 14:10

Hello!

Thanks to those who have added Peterborough, I am also hosting a coffee afternoon on Saturday (you don't have to live in Peterborough, surrounding areas is fine, I won't ask for address proof!) so please do sign up here if you fancy it Coffee afternoon

As others have said please don't judge us all by the Talk threads, we know some MNetter's like to keep private and that's fine but please do add any listings you think I may have missed Smile

Dwerf · 28/04/2014 14:46

done, although you know you're on a hiding to nothing when in two years, your local board has 15 posts.

Lesuffolkandnorfolk · 28/04/2014 15:27

Dwerf

My local talk boards don't have many posts. BUT (as I have already said), Suffolk & Norfolk are busy sites with loads of listings and a very active Twitter and (increasingly) Facebook communities. I belong to a lot of small FB groups and post events suggested there. We are pretty well known now in our regional area and do a lot to promote events and charities.

Please don't judge local just by the talk boards. Smile
