The closest thing we have to that right now is to join the WhatsApp community. If you aren’t in any of the chats, then you will just get occasional announcements in the announcements channel.
This has made me realise I’m not sure what has caused me to be invited to the things I’m invited to, because I don’t get invites to all the things on the events calendar (which works great for me!). I wonder if it’s worth setting up something that’s easy to join that just tells people about the significant things @Joseph Miller ?

You’re invited when we manually decide to invite the attendees of a previous event that you attended to some new event. When we make a new local social event, we will generally just invite the people who have previously been to social events in that area.
If it is a bigger event, like a protest or the Parliament event, we will invite anyone who has every been to any PauseAI UK event.
Having said that, I’m actually not sure what happens when you click ‘Follow’ on our event calendar, so I’ve enquired about that.

The announcements channel on the WhatsApp community more or less serves this purpose, but I think it would probably be good for us to make another email channel that does this too.
