"It was a very professional presentation, with humour, good pictures and a very lucid commentary - and finished spot on the appointed time!
"The many questions were again answered knowledgeably and with humour, leaving us all hoping or a further talk in the future!"

“Nick delivered an informative and highly entertaining talk to Sheffield Millhouses Probus Club.
“Most members had very little knowledge about the behind the scenes work of a sports media professional before the talk and were fascinated by tales of memorable incidents with both local and national sports figures.
“Nick's enthusiasm for sport was evident as was his perceptive insights into the personalities of those involved in professional sport.
“The talk had many humorous moments and was appreciated by all members, including those who did not consider themselves to be sporty.
“Overall a memorable talk that is highly recommended to similar groups.”
Dr Mike Holland, Millhouses Probus Club
“Nick Johnson came along to the Walton on Trent Community Club and delivered a talk ‘Tales from the Press Box’

“Nick is confident and presents his talk with enthusiasm and makes it highly interesting and entertaining.
“We would highly recommend him at any event.”
Tracey Bird, Walton on Trent Community Club
“Nick provided our Rotary Club with a first remote presentation via Zoom, where all attendees were located in our usual meeting place and Nick’s talk was projected on to a screen.
“The evening worked very well and Nick’s presentation “Tales from the Press Box” was informative, entertaining and well illustrated via PowerPoint.
“We will be using this method again to access speakers from around the country and would recommend the system and Nick Johnson to other clubs and institutions.”
Roger Boucher, Gloucester Severn Rotary Club
