Hello All,
Bren Tierney posted this up in "Information" a couple of days ago and we had a chat and thought it might be an idea to post here too.
This will be a trek for some so this should give plenty of planning time. I live in Luxembourg so for anyone planning to drive you could stop over in Lux as it's half way from Calais to the alps, where the course will be.
Dates at the moment are Feb 14-15 (Sat Sun).
If anyone is interested see contact details below or drop me a line and I'll coordinate......
For info on the site see:

It's at a place called Aitrang, but the website should help, but it's in German. When I get more info I'll post it up.

"New BSAC SDC in Ice Diving. Pilot Course mid. Feb. 2004 Germany
Hallo,
would any BSAC members interested in participating in a new BSAC SDC in Ice Diving this Winter please contact me. This new 2-day SDC will suit Sports Divers or above and cover safe diving under ice. Generally at the planned location ice cover of 15-20 cm or so can be expected in February so that dives through an entry point in the ice surface could be carried out. Often there is excellent visibility.
The pilot course is planned to place at one or more alpine lakes near the German/Austrian border and will cover the theoretical and practical techniques required. Further details at a later date.
