OK we're getting a bit fed up with people telling us we've spelt Ludicrus wrong... For those of you who forgot to turn up to your Latin lessons or couldn't stay awake once you were there.. Ludicrous was borrowed from Latin ludicrus, from ludicrum, "joke, amusement", and from ludere, "to play". In Roman antiquity, ludi publici (LYOO digh PUB li sigh) were public games and spectacles, including athletic competitions, horse and chariot races, exhibitions of the arena, and theater. So there - it's Latin! and we think Ludicrus makes a great name for the public spectacle that is East Anglia's premier games event. OK, enough with the education, back to the games....
