.
u = you.

...dated 15 August inviting... = ...dated 15 August [that is] inviting... -- inviting introduces a nonfinite clause acting as an adjective that modifies letter. (Dated also introduces a similar clause with a similar purpose.)

To be held and being held also introduce nonfinite clauses acting as adjectives modifying workshop.
