BJA (British Judo Association) Director Elections 2022
Result summary published!
BJA 9 July 2022:
Elected Non-Executive Director
Elected Candidate: Neil Fletcher
England Home Country Representative
______________________________
An unusual high turn out, over 33% according to the BJA, despite the flaw with the election process.
With the BJA not making the flaw known to those entitled to vote on their website nor on their social media platforms!
It is highly unusual in any democratic election process only to announce the winners without any other details whatsoever!
If you want to know how many clubs were entitled to vote, how many voted, how many votes each candidate received?
You will need to contact the BJA or UK Engage!
bja@uk-engage.org
__________
Neil Fletcher, re-elected, being a chartered accountant would be the ideal BJA Director to ask any questions about the £1,7million pounds paid to BJA Directors and BJA “Leaders”, 2017-2021.
These payments approved by?
BJA Directors & “BJA Leaders”!
__________
All candidates have to be approved by the BJA nomination committee – click
To date, it has not been possible to ascertain how Ronnie Saez has been approved by the nomination committee despite his previous handling of public funding!

______________________________
Rowena Birch, now BJA President and President of the BJA Council, during her election campaign:
“BJA Council is responsible for overseeing the work of the Board of Directors on behalf of the member clubs.
It’s is also there to provide guidance and advice on the grass roots of our sport.
It is therefore really important that the President has strong chairing and leadership skills.
As President, I will ensure that there is true opportunity for the clubs’ voices to be heard.”

Players & Parents
Very similar case as in 2019, when Comberton Judo club falsely claimed their “head coach” was BJA licensed for almost 18 months after he had been suspended by the British Judo Association.
Like Comberton Judo Club at the time, Kendal Judo Club has been receiving Government funding via the BJA for running the DiSE programme. (Diploma in Sporting Excellence) A programme for children & youth!
