The Marco Island History Museum in Florida was all set to receive a new tile mural but the volunteer workers were dismayed to discover that they had got the wrong tiles.
George and Carol Engstrom, Alan and Linda Sandlin and Craig Woodward all volunteered to take part in the project yet they could not complete the work until the right tiles had been delivered. This set the project back some time and proved to be very inconvenient.

As of the 13th August workers at a Sri Lankan tile manufacturing plant went on strike because they felt that they had insufficient wages.
The company in Jalatara, Ranala, had been in negotiations with the Inter Company Employees Union regarding wages since January 2010.
At that time a company representative said, “No agreement has been arrived at because the unions are not willing to compromise on their demands.”

Blue and white Valencian tiles recently discovered by two divers have been authenticated by experts at the Museum of London as dating back to the late 15th and 16th Century.
The fragments of Valencian tile are of Spanish origin and were discovered by the divers during the excavation of a Tudor palace in Surrey.
It appears that the tiles were laid over 400 years ago, while the manor house was receiving renovation work to extend the grounds.

A date has now been set for the refurbishment of the dolphin fountain in Dorset, with work beginning this winter.
The gardens of Poole are all set to receive a £13,200 renovation project that will install the new Dolphin fountain, as well as sloping greens and a paved central area with lighting and a seating area.
The work will begin in the winter so that it is less disruptive for users of the gardens and so that it is ready to be reopened in the spring.

Renovation work has begun on the Church of St Germanus in Rame, Cornwall, after parishioners finally hit their fund raising target.
Over the last year the church has organised activities and fund raising events and have been able to raise close to £100,000.
So much was needed because the church is a Grade I listed building and needs specialist builders to carry out the work on the 750 year old church.

Daniel P. Sullivan, Union County Freeholder Chairman, said, “This beautiful artefact could not have been saved without the diligence and dedication of all involved.”
