Is Mumsnet local a whole different place?

[maisybobbins]

Trying to find my local group (Cumbria) but no mention of local pages in topics. Where is all this local fun happening?

Here's the home page for local local.mumsnet.com/topics and there is a Cumbria section.

Thanks Fru. I just don't get why it can't all be in the same place - confusing!

I just cannot work out how to get mine either. Brighton and Hove. Do I need to join again with a different name? How come it's so complicated?

You can find a link to Local at the bottom of the Mumsnet front page.

However, here is a link to the page where you can find your local site.
local.mumsnet.com/find-a-local-site
and here is a link to Brighton and Hove.
local.mumsnet.com/brighton-hove

I can see it but can't work out how to join it. Do you need another separate mumsnet account?

Hello!

No, not at all!

You can use your regular account for your local site.

You'll just need to add a local nickname before you get started.
