What would be 4 possible examples of assumptions if you were to organise a BBQ for a corporate award function for team. VIPS to fly in from another town, you will need to book accomodation , shuttle, venue, etc? Saving Changes...

It's important for you to come up with these yourself; that is how you will learn from the assignment. Saving Changes...
you ought to look into the definition of assumption a bit more too - the need to book accommodation or a shuttle is not an assumption.
You may make an assumption that the accommodation or shuttle is suitable quality for your VIPs, but then that may in itself become a project risk... Saving Changes...

1) It is likely to rain so shelters will be required for the BBQ
2) Some of the VIPS will cancel due to better offers so you will have a surplus of food that will need to be re-purposed
3) The person who is doing the cooking will not be qualified to do so and will burn the food so alternative sources of sustenance will be required.
4) Some guests will be vegetarian so will not want to eat raw steaks. Saving Changes...

Assumptions are not normally drawn up in isolation; they come about as part of the planning. E.g. when deciding on food choices, you might plan on the assumption that 25% of attendees will be vegetarian. So, as you make the plan you record the assumption. Saving Changes...

Agree with Andrew that assumptions are part of planning.
Just by looking at your short question, it is not easy to come up with any good assumptions since the act of proposing anything on the basis of insufficient information given is itself an act of assuming.
Just like Josh said, you have to work on your assignment yourself. Saving Changes...
