The last-minute bow-out was undoubtedly inconvenient and embarrassing for CWEALF, as it had already expended much time and effort marketing the event with Munro as an attraction, and spent a bundle printing the event programs (and buying an award plaque for Munro), only to endure the discomfort of dealing with this turn of event.
