Charles Carter was a great pioneer of a wide range of astrological developments including modern psychological and mundane approaches. He died on 14th October 1968. The first Astrological Association Conference was a one day event on 20th September 1969. The second Astrological Association Conference was a two day event at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge on 18th to 20th September 1970. The first Carter Memorial Lecture was given by Ronald C Davidson at the Astrological Lodge on 5th October 1970. It was entitled "Astrology &: Man" The third Astrological Association Conference was a two day event at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge on 10th to 12th September 1970 - The Carter Memorial Lecture "Astrology Reborn" was given by John Addey, "after dinner" on the 10th September 1970. This started the tradition of the Lecture being giving at both the Lodge and AA Conference and the selection being by one or other organisation on alternate years.
