I'm a tad bit confused here what are you actually trying to say?? Your annoyed because your friend didn't deliver the expectations you set out for him and he says he's knows nothing about it is this correct?

My advice to you is keep it simple posters incur cost thus did you expect him to take this responsibility of cost also why didn't you call him or e mail him asking him what he had achieved so far prior to this ''rant'' today

Organizing events like this are stressful though of course for the greater good you are expecting people to put there own time, energy into something is not easy! COMMUNICATION IS VITAL

I helped organised a fun raising day weeks of organizing the most stressful part was making sure that jobs that we assigned were done! and people tend to let you down... it was really difficult though we managed to raise just under €6000 in six hours! I did say at the time again never again!!! though damn organizing the next one soon!
