The Mafeking Bell

The Scout hall at Mt Morgan has the Mafeking bell made from pennies (either 8,000 or 80,000, not sure).
The copper bell was made at the mine smelter.
Again Mafeking gets a mention as the founder of the Scouting movement, Lord Baden-Powell, commanded the seige of Mafeking.
Unfortunately the scout hall is no longer in use.
