You should be getting the emails, the first one was sent out August 3rd when the event started.
So if you're not receiving emails, I would suggest contacting support to get emails set up again if for some reason or some how you unsubscribed. [email protected]
I am afraid quite a few people missed that first email due to the holidays. You're not the only one that hasn't seen it. I agree it is a pity the mail wasn't used more often during the event.
