Events
The Current Events list usually includes quite a few events which are happening in the U.K. You should also be able to find out about events on the wiki by drilling down to a very local level (starting with England/Northern Ireland/Scotland/Wales) however this relies on event organisers (or anyone) being pro-active with linking event descriptions from the relevant wiki pages (Current Events list generally better maintained)
Any upcoming.org event listings should be posted to the OpenStreetMap group.
Lists
Status
Drill down to a more local level (starting with England/Northern Ireland/Scotland/Wales) to describe/discuss the status of mapping progress on the wiki.
See the projects above, particularly the UK Mapping Priorities, for some more general UK mapping targets.
