I guess if it was possible to add the "gates open 9:15" in small letters under the date on the front page then it might make things even clearer, but then if you get too carried away with adding such details then all you end up with is a very cluttered and distracting page.

And as I said before, including a note about the exit arrangements would have been a very good idea. Last year we went on both days, on the second day we did a huge circuit of the back (south) of the car park away from the main road and coming along the west fence to get into the Welshpool Lane. That worked well. We saw the writing on the wall this year and made sure we left just after 14.30 because it's a long drive to and fro as we live in deepest Gloucestershire.

I guess better signage in the car park (perhaps by the pedestrian exit back into the car park?) might be the answer rather than adding something to the programme - not everyone buys one of those, and even those that do don't necessary read it all.
If the traffic is starting the back up on the main road towards Shrewsbury then I'd personally always turn left out of the gate and cut round. Any of the left hand turns in Ford (village just down the hill from the showground) will get you across to the B4386, or else you could follow the more official alternative and carry on the 6 miles to Halfway House before turning left to Westbury and join the B4386 there, then turn left and return to Shrewsbury at the next traffic island along on the dual carriageway. It might well be further distance, but I dare say it'll be quicker than shuffling in a queue along the A458.

I guess different people have differing views about what constitutes value for money. If there has been an admission increase for Onslow this year, then it certainly isn't as much as the gate increase for 'Dorset this year.
(...but if visitors were already starting to queue to get in on Saturday, then no wonder tempers were wearing thin and the queue was huge by the time the gate opened on Sunday)

With tact and diplomacy like that I'm sure you could go far with a job in the Foreign Office...
