The group, which currently has 85 members, including representatives from 44 Member Associations of the under-fire organisation, claim there was an “apparent lack of transparent governance surrounding the withdrawal”.

They believe a meeting of the BJA’s member clubs should be held to discuss the debacle after a controversial agreement with a mixed martial arts firm led to Glasgow being axed due to a conflict of interest.

Former BJA chairman Kerrith Brown was found to be “almost entirely” to blame.

An Extraordinary General Meeting could then be held should the member clubs wish to do so, the “Honesty Society” claim, which may lead to votes of no confidence being given to particular members of the BJA Board.

This is likely to involve chief executive Andrew Scoular, who was allowed to carry on in his role despite being found to have breached his contractual obligations during the process which led to the event being taken away from the Scottish city.

Disciplinary proceedings were brought against Scoular as a result but he was “found to be responsible in respect of a few of the more minor allegations and consequently appropriate disciplinary action was taken”, according to the BJA.

“It is hoped that such a meeting would ensure trust and confidence with the current board, and also serve to improve communication between the directors and the member clubs,” a post on Facebook from Mike Callan, a former British international who is the head of the Honesty Society, said.

The post also includes a list of 25 questions the group would like to ask the BJA members on a range of topics, such as whether they feel Brown and Scoular misled the Board.

Other questions centre on if any of the members physically saw the contracts which had been signed and if they took advice on the clear conflict of interest, found to be at the heart of the issue.

It follows a scathing report into the reasons why Glasgow lost the hosting rights, conducted by law firm Hamlin, which uncovered a number of damning revelations concerning the involvement of Brown and Scoular.

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, negotiated an agreement between the governing body and the Combat Sports Federation (CSF), which was brokering a deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC), of which he was a director.

The 53-year-old, who stood down from his role as BJA chairman in June 2015 and is now the President of the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation, “stood financially to benefit” from the deal with the CSF, it was claimed.

The contract with the UFC prompted the European Judo Union (EJU) to take the event away from Glasgow as they stressed it did not meet their “values”.

The report also alleged Brown “deliberately misled” UK Sport, who had asked for confirmation that the EJU had approved the sponsorship deal with the UFC.

He told UK Sport that the partnership had been agreed by the EJU, it is claimed, when in fact the European governing body had not rubber-stamped the sponsorship.

The report even alleges he knew they would not approve it due to their tough stance on mixed-martial arts.

The study by Hamlin also claimed Scoular knew what Brown was doing behind the scenes and assisted the former chairman with his actions.

In a progress update, published last month, the BJA announced it would pursue the possibility of retrieving money from Brown.

It also granted the BJA Board a “more prominent role” in the scrutiny of potential sponsorship deals.

The Glasgow European Championships were instead held in Azerbaijan's capital Baku as part of the inaugural European Games.
