Hi,
If I had an extra field extended for CalendarEvents, like a category field. Could I filter that with UpcomingEvents()? If so, how should I go about it?

I believe the second argument for Calendar::UpcomingEvents() is a filter clause.

That's for the function that's decorated on the SiteTree. That's just a convenient wrapper for Calendar::UpcomingEvents().

You'll have to write a custom function in your controller.. something like:

if($calendar = DataObject::get_one("Calendar", ... filter clause if necessary))
return $calendar->UpcomingEvents(5, "Category = Foo");
return false;

Excellent.
Got another question to pick your brain with.

On the list of upcoming events I have this:
Royal Rangers meeting (reoccurring)
Royal Rangers meeting (reoccurring)
Royal Rangers meeting (reoccurring)
Royal Rangers Assembly (onetime)
Some other one time event (onetime)

What would I do to to filter like this.
Royal Rangers meeting (most recent reoccurring of this series)
Royal Rangers Assembly (onetime)
Some other one time event (onetime)

Any idea?
