Letting British Judo (BJA) know how you feel about Judo coaches:

  1. Having to pay themselves for their coach education
  2. Having to pay themselves to maintain their coaching license.

Though still having to pay for their British Judo membership despite:

  1. Coaches and clubs generating an income for British Judo of over £1,7 million pounds a year from membership & grading fees along with event income.  
    See British Judo Annual Accounts 2023-2024
  2. Abolishing the requirement of British Judo Coaches having to pay for their membership being ONLY be around £45,000 a year in cost to the BJA. 

Considering that the BJA Chair, Gerry Gaultieri, the BJA CEO, Andrew Scoular and an unknown British Judo Director. 
Award the BJA Chair and a secret "Executive Team" over £448,000 pounds a year as "Remuneration Payments" for unspecified reasons!   

See British Judo Association Ltd Annual Report, accounts, 2023-2024.

Note:
In the same BJA Annual Report 2023-2024, the CEO Andrew Scoular, stated that there were now more BJA member than Pre-Covid!  

Despite this not being anywhere near the truth!  

  • 2021 (Pre-Covid)
    BJA membership = 47,626
  • 2024
    BJA membership = 38,823
