Re-presenting the Bell
The bell was covered in paint and over 80 years worth of grime. Jim Meager, Deputy Headmaster at the time, tried to clean it but the job was too big for even a willing amateur. The Rotary Club were approached and agreed to fund the cost of the restoration. It took 'Rotarian' Austin Farrell three weeks to clean, polish and restore the bell to its' former glory.
19th May 1981 the bell being presented back to the new Beaudesert Lower School.

Pictured are (L to R): Viv Willis (last president of old boys' association), Mr.W.Holm (headmaster), Ron Jinks (president of the Rotary Club), Austin Farrell and Jim Meager (deputy head).
