Why not add it to a calendar to which all 5 groups have read-access?

And every time you add a "common" event, you have to add access rights 
to that event for each group who has access, whereas in a 
shared-calendar environment, you grant the rights to the calendar 
itself, and let all 5 groups have read privileges at creation-time.
