Mike Beale passed away on the morning of Wednesday, May 29, 2024. Mike was a keen member of both the Margaret River Veterans but also the Country Veterans Golf Association. Mike was our delegate for the CVGA for several years and went to every game, along with Jon Beales, until his health deteriorated in recent years.
Mike also participated in the Stick Pickers after golf on a Tuesday, before he turned 80, but then left it to the younger blokes.
Mike loved all sports, but particularly cricket. He travelled the world as a journalist reporting on cricket. When he retired, Mike came to live in Cowaramup, where he has a son.
Mike also loved his food and could tell you what was going to served at every CVGA event and how it compared to other events. He also knew where all the best Chinese and Indian restaurants were on the way to and from a game.
