In your position I'd just explain that you'd made plans because it wasnt confirmed which saturday it was and that you're not happy about doing it for no pay. then offer the compromise of taking time off in lieu and re-arrange to meet your mate later on in the day or on Sunday.
You dont want to be seen to be rocking the boat, but you also need to make it clear that you have a life outside of work.

Exactly.Kinvigs attitude of "you are lucky to have a job so get in and work for free"is frankly outrageous IMO.Being flexible about when you come in is one thing,but you dont get ought for nought and that goes for employers as well.
