Unsung Hero Keith Watterson Honored for Decades of Community Service
Keith Watterson has received a local honour for his years of unpaid community work. The award recognizes his contributions to Onchan and nearby Douglas. A special ceremony in April will mark the presentation of the Michael Douglas Crosh Pobble Chonnnaghyn.
The Michael Douglas Crosh Pobble Chonnnaghyn is given every two years to a resident who enhances life in the area. Watterson was chosen for his long-standing involvement with local groups and committees. His efforts span multiple organizations, all without payment.
The ceremony will take place at a civic service next month. Officials will formally present the Michael Douglas Crosh Pobble Chonnnaghyn to Watterson during the event. No other details about the selection process or criteria have been shared.
Watterson's work has focused on supporting Onchan and Douglas through voluntary roles. The upcoming ceremony will highlight his dedication to the community. The Michael Douglas Crosh Pobble Chonnnaghyn remains a local tradition, with no wider public records of past recipients.
