MOTUEKA SPORTSWORLD
LTD
201 High Street WELCOME TO SPORTSWORLD MOTUEKA As one of the largest locally owned sports stores in the Top of the South, we offer you an enormous range of sports and outdoor equipment at competitive prices. Talk with us about anything from mouth guards to netball shoes or outfitting for your trip into any of the three local national parks. Owner Martin and our staff Tony, Rachel and Nigel not only offer the best brands and service but also something completely free…… LOCAL KNOWLEDGE! Each of us is happy to pass on our knowledge and experience to help make your activity the most rewarding it can be – helping you to get out there and do it. After many years in the corporate world, owner Martin bought Motueka Sportsworld in 2003. Despite the demands of running a successful business, he still finds time for trout fishing, tramping in the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National parks with his two sons, and family camping around the Nelson region. Having completed an Open Water diving course, he now explores the underwater world and enjoys snow skiing and social tennis with wife Susanna. Tony has worked at Motueka Sportsworld for 20 years – so has immense knowledge! A keen competitive squash player, Tony re-strings all types of racquets. He is a qualified diver, a qualified Aqualung service technician for regulators and BCDs and a keen fisherman as well as an experienced water skier and wake boarder. Talk with him about our reel repair service along with some vague directions to spot X for those big summer snapper. Tony has also represented Motueka in golf and ten-pin bowling. Rachel has worked with us for 5 years and she and husband Ben enjoy weekends fishing in their boat around Golden Bay and the Marlborough Sounds. As a keen and experienced tramper with Ben throughout the Nelson and West Coast area, she is a great source of knowledge about the local National Parks or further afield. Rachel also enjoys mountain biking and road cycling and to keep fit (!) also pops into the local gym each morning. Ask her about the finest crayfish dipping sauce recipe known! Nigel, the newest member of the team, is our firearms specialist – being involved with firearms at an early age on the family farm in England. Some of his notable hunting successes have been a 12 point Red Stag shot in the Abel Tasman National Park, two hunting trips to Stewart Island and hunting in Indiana, USA. Nigel has shot a large variety of rifle calibres and hunted extensively in the Nelson Lakes and North West Nelson regions. He has been reloading ammunition for many years and brings a vast knowledge of this science to Motueka Sportsworld. Nigel’s interest in Black Powder shooting has seen him represent New Zealand at World Championships three times and his interest in shooting Matchlock and Flintlock muskets remain passions today. As a spin off, he has also collected firearms and at one stage owned an original Boutet (crafted by Napoleon’s gun maker). He is also involved in historical re-enactments such as Trafalgar 200 and Omaka events. He has also served on the Mountain Safety Council for over 25 years. An impressive range of talents, knowledge and experience that’s
yours for the asking. So come in ask!
