I was contemplating it, but this seems a reasonable place to ask the
question currently between the ears - is the South Bucks Winter Warmer
on Dec 3 [I see it's designated as a PRM] a PBP qualifier?

If yellow shading on the Audax online calender means a PBP eligible ride
then the answer is yes.

The BRM designation is sufficient.

It's designated BRM, but AFAIK the window for the 200 qualifiers for The
French Ride is January 1st - April 22nd.

Except when I don't read the details properly...
>From the AUK website:-
....events must be completed ... during the first half of 2007:-
The following dates are provisional
Specifically, in the UK, a 200 by April 22
A 300 from April 7 to May 20
A 400 from April 28 to June 3
A 600 from May 17 to June 19
So I'm not sure if a Nov or Dec 200 will be good enough. To be safe I'd
make sure you complete another BRM 200 before 22nd April.

There's no indication of a starting date on the AUK website. It states that
a 200 has to be ridden by 22 April.
I might be able to cope with that level of challenge but no more

I think it came up on the AUK mailing list recently that AUK members could
ride their qualifying 200 from January 1st although the "official" start
date is February 24th. IIRC qualification dates are different for the
Hemispherically Different as well...

unlikely , have told El Supremo I'll do his the week after (as it's
from Midhurst which is much nearer to me than Oxford which is as much
of a rail desert on a Sunday early a.m. as Midhurst) plus Dave's is a
Saturday which gives me the chance to spend Sunday de-skog(tm) ing my
winter wheels. The PS was supremely bleak but a good ride. If
circumstances conspire I may change plans though.
Just noticed; not only is there a general price hike (and not
necessarily BRM related) for entry fees but they want us to spend £4
for an advance calendar; have they taken a leaf out of rttc's book?

Sounds like a plan. I'll think about getting an entry form off soon,
then I can chalk off the first part of my SRM nice and early.

I assume all 200's after Jan 1st will be BRM's; have just shelled out
£8 (which will be reclaimed at the first food stop) for El Supremo's
Well Fed; the Marlborough Connection still appeals as a means of
getting out of the South at least once over the winter.

Consider one of the Peak Audax Cheshire rides, easy routes, good route
sheets. I'll be doing most of them. (That might be a reason not to do
one ;-) !!!)

don't think so; the furthest I intend to travel next year (other than
Paris) is Chepstow for the Bryan Chapman.
