Douglas Romain

We are sad to report the sudden death of Douglas Romain from Jersey. Douglas, was a former winner of the Gold Cup and of the National Masters Pairs (where he partnered Irving Rose). He also won the Teams event at the Jersey Congress several times.

  3. I first met Douglas at the Acol Bridge Club in London when I was fresh out of university. He was a character larger than life and he bubbly personality never seemed to be affected - even when his partner went for 2000!

  4. Douglas shared with me his bridge talent, as an oponent and as a partner, at the bridge club and in private.
    I am sad that I never will meet him again, but am grateful to have known him as a human being.
