The BJA will also use it to go over other issues and to help them form an updated governance structure.

The process is also due to “take into account” the recommendations made by law firm Hamlins after they conducted a report into the reasons for Glasgow losing the hosting rights to the European Championships last year.

It comes after an “Honesty Society” within the BJA threatened to call for an Emergency General Meeting if they did not respond to a request to explain their actions over the withdrawal of the event from Glasgow.

"I'm delighted that the Board of the British Judo Association are taking the opportunity to demonstrate transparency and good governance in answering relevant questions posed by the member clubs following the withdrawal of the 2015 European Championships and subsequent investigations," Mike Callan, the head of the "Honesty Society", told insidethegames.

"I'm grateful to the chair and chief executive for facilitating such a meeting.

"As we approach the Rio Olympic and Paralympic Games, our focus needs to be on support for the athletes, and I wish them every success."

The report by Hamlins urged the BJA to review its governance as it found former BJA Chairman Kerrith Brown “almost entirely” responsible for the debacle which led to the European Judo Union moving the event from the Scottish city to Azerbaijan, where it was staged as part of the European Games in Baku.

It revealed Brown, who suffered the disgrace of being stripped of his bronze medal at the Seoul 1988 Olympics after testing positive for banned performance-enhancing drugs, had orchestrated a sponsorship agreement between the governing body and the Combat Sports Federation (CSF), which was brokering a deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championships, of which he was a director.

This represented a clear conflict of interest, the report said.

Brown, who is now the President of the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation, was accused of deliberately misleading the BJA Board, while chief executive Andrew Scoular was also implicated.

The consultation, which is being facilitated by Jonathan Hall Associates with the support of UK Sport and Sport England, has already begun after the BJA sent out questionnaires to its membership.

Seven events, which “will be structured to facilitate an open discussion forum between the members and stakeholders”, are due to be held across Britain next month, culminating in a national all-day meeting in Walsall on August 27.

Members will be given the chance to ask the top brass within the BJA a series of questions regarding the withdrawal of the Championships from Glasgow.

Findings and recommendations for change uncovered as a result of the consultation process will then be discussed at the BJA Annual General Meeting in November of this year.

“We sincerely hope you will engage in this process to ensure that we have the appropriate tools to help govern and direct the association moving forward to 2020 and beyond,” a BJA statement read.

A full schedule and planned agenda for each of the meetings, which are open to all BJA's membership, is available here.
