North-West North 1
North-West North 1 was an English Rugby Union league which was at the tenth tier of the domestic competition and was available to teams in Cumbria and the northern part of Lancashire. Promoted teams moved up to North-West East/North 1 while relegated teams dropped to North-West North 2 until it was disbanded at the end of the 1989–90 season.

- The cancellation of North-West North 2 at the end of the 1989–90 season meant that there was no relegation.
gollark: I think my style is better than the Go one.
gollark: For "fast stupider web-y Python" Go somewhat works, but I don't think it's generally very good.
gollark: I think languages which do are generally better than ones which don't.
gollark: Yes. However, having a language which actually ALLOWS YOU TO WRITE THAT as a generalized thing would be better without compromising elegance with weird special cases like Go also does.
gollark: Parallel iterators would make that code clearer, actually simpler (not Go-"simpler") and less error-prone.
