Samnanger I.L. arrangerer dei to første løpa torsdag 29.
Høge fjell og mykje nedbør har lagt grunnlaget for dei to viktigaste næringane i bygda: Vasskraftproduksjon og strømpefabrikken Safa som er kjent for sine gode ski- og ullsokkar.
I Samnanger ligg terrenget mellom 250-600 moh, og det er vekselvis glissen blandingsskog og opne fjellområder.
Samnanger departed Bergen on March 3-1940 for Buenos Aires to take on board a cargo of grain for Norway.
Samnanger then continued to New Foundland and loaded props in Woodstock, before heading to Cornerbrook and Sydney, N. where she joined a convoy back to England.
Samnanger then went to Hartlepool where about half the crew payed off and were replaced by new men.
Around Bjørnefjord are the districts of Os, Fusa and Samnanger, the Bjørnefjord Region.
It is probable that Samnanger was first inhabited during the period of tribal migrations, between 400 A.D. and 600 A.D. There has been speculation that in about 500 A.D. a "Samnanger kingdom" existed, the people, "samnar", had a certain Rolv for their king, probably with his seat a Rolvsvåg.
Its establishment was the beginning of a process which changed Samnanger from a purely agricultural district, to one where industry became increasingly important.
Magdalena (Haug) Krokenes was born on February 18, 1903 in Samnanger, Hordaland, Norway, which is on the west coast about twenty kilometers northeast of Bergen.
Her parents were Ragneel Johan Haug and Magdelee Ragnhilda Drogheda Haug; her father died at the age of 32 from tuberculosis when Magdalena was about 6 years old.
Her home was about 20 km northeast of Bergen (on the west coast of Norway) towards the farmland up in the mountains surrounding Samnangerfjorden.

As a symbol of the wet climate and the source of hydroelectricity, Samnanger chose a circle of yellow drops on a field of red as the design for its flag.
The proportions of the Norwegian flag, 8:11, are also used for the flag flown by the municipality of Samnanger.

At 20.50 hours on 2 Dec, 1940, the unescorted Samnanger (Master Andreas Hansen) was hit by one torpedo from U-99 and caught fire after being hit in the starboard side by about 30 rounds of 27 high explosive and 25 incendiary shells fired from the deck gun.
She had been reported missing after straggling from a convoy on 29 November and was wrongly reported lost on 21 December in 08°26N/16°50W, but the U-boat had idientified her victim as Samnanger.

The band came together over the fall of 2004, when four young musicians from Samnanger (outside Bergen, Norway), went to the same parties weekend after weekend.
Important: you should turn off any pop-up blockers as the mp3 player is a pop-up window and may not load!
Suddenly one night, wasted as we were, an idea of starting a new punkrock band didn't seem so retarded.
All the services in our new church in Haga do always include Communion, sharing from God, intercession and the opportunity to stop for a cop of coffee and cockies after the service.
