Membership has steadily increased and coaching programmes and tennis for all levels is now available to everyone who is interested in the game. Close links have been established with schools in East Kilbride and the club has regularly hosted events with a local disability group.

Famous quotes containing the word rewards:
“Not only do I disbelieve in the need for compensation, but I believe that the seeking for rewards and punishments out of this life leads men to a ruinous ignorance of the fact that their inevitable rewards and punishments are here.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“And soon it is neither here nor there
Whether time’s rewards are fair or unfair.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“No one ever promised me it would be easy and it’s not. But I also get many rewards from seeing my children grow, make strong decisions for themselves, and set out on their own as independent, strong, likeable human beings. And I like who I am becoming, too. Having teenagers has made me more human, more flexible, more humble, more questioning—and, finally it’s given me a better sense of humor!”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 4 (1978)
