Thought I'd better let you know what i look like. This was a hosts Harley in Myrtle beach that i had a pleasure of a short ride on.
Two approaches for me.
firstly I agree with the KISS theory. Keep it Australian theme on the tables and decorations and invitations. I also support the multi-media approach. We've had some get togthers and had photos rolling over in the background. (this may require some IT skills as the older teams will be on slides or may be hard copies that will require scanning) We'd also have to vet an amount per team as I know we had hundreds of photos.
Do we stick with just decorations or extend the theme to dress? If it's australian then we'd end of with a hundred swaggies i guess. OR dress from the countries visited.
Second choice would be if it's a sit down evening then I'd assume the teams would sit together, so each table could be made up in the colours of the country the team visited. This would take a lot more co-ordination though and probably cost more.
a question for me to close out on. Do we get a rep from each team to give a 2 minute presentation or simply pass the microphone around to each table for an informal hello this is who we are and where we went?

I too like the Aust theme concept. This will keep the cost down as the materials will be easy to get. What if we have the invites, and decorations set to this but get the people to turn up in their uniforms (which I think might be a problem) or wearing something from the country they visited, ie, all the members of our team have "hey Jimmy hats"?
I think the 2 min talk might be a better option so that we don't end up with too many people speaking. Shall we also ask each team to maybe submit 10 photos from their trip and we then start putting them together for the background persentation (this way we don't end up with too many to work with).
Getting different flags might be expensive but they might be good table decoration. Shall we look into this once we know what the budget is?
