Hi there - Just putting on my 'other' hat, as along with the youth employment organisation I work with, I am also the Local Secretary for Speech NZ - a not-for-profit organisation offering examinations and assessments in public speaking & communication, voice & speech, drama, oral communication etc.
5 times a year we require an inexpensive venue to run our examinations for about a week at a time. We require one good sized room for the actual exams and then a separate area (or room) which would serve as a waiting area and place that students can prepare themselves. There also needs to be free parking close by, so the CBD is out of the question.
Would be interested if anyone has any recommendations on venues in Christchurch?
