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 - and I've managed to change my home site to where I actually live, not the one down the road!

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.

yeah right. still no takers!

Thank you, Suffolk :)

@SuffolkNWhat

Local talk rarely works properly. Posts don't load or take forever and bookmarks don't work. I have found it much easier to follow MN Suffolk on Twitter

Hi Suffolk,

Can you tell us what happens when you try and post? Do you get an error message and what device are you using to try and post?

Apologies for this, local Talk should function in the same way as Talk on the main site.

Thanks in advance

Glad to hear you are following us on Twitter. Do let me know if there is anything I can do better w/ regards to that.

I have been tweeting links to local talk threads for both Norfolk and Suffolk, pleading for responses but nobody ever does so I kind of imagine that means none of you really want it? I realise that if a thread is asking for people who know about fertility issues and there is nobody local who feels they know about this then we have a problem from the off. I did advise that poster to repost on the fertility boards for immediate help.

I don't suppose there's a MN discount for Firewater Gallery?

I really like the prints.
