This is just a temporary guide to let people connect to the server even though you've automatically updated to 1.2 Beta. This should be undone once the server has upgraded to 1.2 Beta.

Download this file (it is the old minecraft.jar):
[Removed by Admin]

Windows
Start -> Run -> %appdata% -> Open .minecraft/bin

Once .minecraft/bin is open, rename the current minecraft.jar to minecraft.jarbackup or something that indicates its a backup.

Unzip that file I had you download into this folder.

Run Minecraft and connect to server.

How to undo
Delete the minecraft.jar and rename minecraft.jarbackup to minecraft.jar

Why this works
Minecraft automatically updates (usually), so it will automatically downloaded the new minecraft.jar, however, it only does this once. So if someone saves a copy of the previous version minecraft.jar, you can just replace it with the new one and it will set you back to a previous version without re-updating.

As per http://minecraft.net/copyright.jsp , you're not permitted to link to previous versions of the Minecraft server.

I wonder how/if new trees, ore etc will be available in the existing world, or if we will have to venture out into new chunks to get new stuff.

Pretty sure you'll have to venture to new areas to get new ores/trees. The world shouldn't add anything new to any pre-exisiting chunks

The server is down, I believe being updated, so the latest official one should be good once it's back up.
