No you did not have to be a lifer to enjoy all those things mostly just show up, be nice and polite, enjoy others company and appreciate the artistry of the Parker.
It's amazing what being a PGCA lifer means in some places. At the H+H store in Paris, a notably snobbish place the the atmosphere turned cordial when I told them I was Life member and collected classic American smooth bores I was shown the collectors gun room, Some real neat metal in there.
Now who knows what would have happened if i did not mention the PGCA but the same thing happened at Purdey's. So yes the lifer level does have perks.
