Friday drinks give people the chance to arrive at their leisure... somewhere 'close by' the airport given many out-of-towners stay nearby (I know the Stamford has worked in years past).
Something organised on the Saturday evening also gets people together in an environment that's a bit different to the usual 'fence-side' antics.
Not too much 'organised' during the day to allow for the crowds to shift around with the runways in use on the day. Lunch can be organised 'on the fly' so to speak.
So pretty much sticking to the forumula as used in previous years I reckon!
