None of you want to be locking your money away for 3 to 5 years so its probably a bit pointless investing in trackers, etfs etc and it would be a bit boring to manage as a group too. I'd suggest just coming up with a best ideas portfolio of around 4 or 5 stocks and reviewing it as a group every now and then. I'd be happy to plug your equity portfolio into a model at work (or you could let me know how much you want allocated to fixed income, alternatives etc) to simulate what your returns would have been if you had properly diversified.

You don't need to be careful about making sure everyone has the same time scale and return expectations as you do? Ok.
I'm not trying to shit on your idea, I think getting people thinking about investing is a great idea but you need to approach is properly. If you had invested in the FTSE 100 at the start of 2011 you wouldn't have made any profits at all until 2013. Making sure that people are aware that there are risks involved with investing is important, especially in the context of retirement planning. Making statements that imply that you're guaranteed to make a return without properly conveying the risks isn't going to be beneficial to anyone.
