This is a book largely of photos, to celebrate the centenary of the Tasmania University Union, started by students in 1899 to organise sport and protect their interests. I found that to write it, I really had to do as much research as writing a longer book, but I enjoyed it. I had a year as a member of the TUU myself, as did my son and daughter, and my mother-in-law was the first female president, so I had personal links with it. Great to tell the stories of all these student activities. A light-hearted book, fun to write.
