Letter: Tania Rose obituary

Tania Rose was a regular volunteer with Charter 88, advocating constitutional and electoral reform

Tania Rose, along with her friend Marna Glyn, who died in 2012, was a regular volunteer for Charter 88 throughout its heroic period from 1989 to the mid-1990s.

Both were longtime, disciplined and intelligent Labour supporters who helped the organisation argue for constitutional and electoral reform. Quietly and efficiently they managed all the press cuttings and helped in the office on one or two days a week.

They were also stewards at meetings, always arriving on time, working together, and keeping a sharp, good-humoured eye on the organisation and its failings.

They showed great dedication, friendship towards each other, and modesty.
