Not to bring up a dead thread but me and Da are in the same guild. He now has takin hall of heroes and Im the new GVG officer. Ive got a build planned now the hard part is getting the players? All I can think of is to skirmish with an alliance guild. I want to watch them practice. Maybe I can have the other guild not always attack and just set up some examples. All I know is if theres no pve reward half the guild doesnt want to do it.

Start small and build up.
Run some team arenas 4v4 when u have <=4
If u have 5,6,7 go do some heros ascent and grab some pug players.
If u have 8+ u can do heros or gvg.

You can take your team to isles for testing spikes and such on the dummies before taking on live oppenents.

Be prepared...
to lose alot.
to reworking your builds.
to talk with each other.
to post builds in forums that are to be used.

Avoid...
blaming each other.
arguing needlessly
talking endlessly about what build to run

Overtime, you will get some decent runs.

The most important thing at your level, in my opinion, is simply building consistency. If your guild really wants to learn more about how to play PvP, you need to be playing with roughly the same group every time, in the same roles. Once you start doing that you'll learn how to work together and improvement in play will come naturally. If you're just taking random players from the guild to play random roles you won't learn nearly as much.

As such, do what Stuey suggests and set up a roster. Badger people to sign up and choose 8 players and a few alternates as your GvG team. Set up a few specific times when you want to GvG and make sure everyone on the roster knows about them. Don't be afraid to boot people from the roster if they aren't showing up consistently. If one or two players are screwing up your scheduling you need to make a change quickly, because the entire thing will fall apart if you're not getting to GvG on the nights you've scheduled.

Also, try to develop a decent friends list and ask for people to guest if you're just missing one or two. So long as you get to play, it's probably alright.
